couple of questions
on my coilovers, they bottom out way too easy and hit the bump stop on all kinds of shit. its annoying. the ride sucks. the back is lowered all the way and the front is up about 1.5 inches i think to match the back. will adjusting the stiffness of the bushings correct this?
also, what kind of tires should i get?
its time for some new ones. they don't have any tread really and 0 sidewall. they're 185/65/15. i plan on getting the same size tire, maybe a little more low profile but with more sidewall and tons more tread/grip. i'm not sure what i should get. give me some suggestions. reasonable prices are appreciated
anyway, later guys. thanks

what brand coilovers are you using? if they have urethane upper perches, then youre supposed to remove the bump stops completely.
when u drop u coilovers that low, u run out of shock travel, as no stock length shocks are meant to be ridden that low

i'm using tokico illumina full coilovers, not sleeves
i used the stock top part of the strut assembly with the bushings and shit that mounts to the body
yeah my tires are bald as **** and they are round at the edge. like so (_ lol shit even that looks better than mine. i want them to be more |_ at a right angle.
anyway, yeah i'm probably gonna get new a-arms for the front with the offset ball joint and adjustable rear control arms because today i was driving back from santa rosa and my ****ing ball joint straight popped out of my a-arm and i didn't even know what was wrong for sure till i got home and looked.
i was like halfway home too on a 1.5 hour drive
anyway, yeah. thanks
